The recession did slow down the rate of growth of purchases, but revenue expansion remained strongly positive throughout the worst of the crisis. This was due primarily to expense and cost cutting initiatives from many large companies.

Now you can buy costumes, strollers, beds, sounds for the bears, etc. Instead of just the simple bears, there are now minions, ninja turtles, frozen bears, and many more.
